Good luck to K Brew, 1328 N. Broadway, as it competes for a $100,000 small business grant being awarded by Chase Bank!

Owner Pierce LaMacchia videotaped a message of support from Mayor Madeline Rogero on Wednesday as the local coffeehouse prepares for the next round of the grant competition.

K Brew is a start-up local coffeehouse that lovingly serves Old North Knoxville and Fourth and Gill families, as well as drop-in coffee aficionados from all parts of Knoxville. K Brew is a great neighborhood gathering place. If it receives the Chase Bank funding, K Brew will be hosting more community-building events and expanding its business services.
